History
The original telecine transfer from 16mm & one super 8mm (with sound) to video was achieved by aerial image transfer to VHS video tape with my selected soundtrack, Good Friday 1986 in Melbourne at Cineclair Studios, Glen Iris, Victoria. The DVD was burnt from this master tape by Film Plus Studios, St. Kilda, January 2004.
Provenance
These original home movies including the other two professionally produced titles, (Peter Townshend’s& Meher Baba Oceanic’s O Parvardigar and The Awakener both with sound) were given to me by Avatar Meher Baba lover, Ena lemon of Kalista,Melbourne Victoria, Australia. The originals were duly returned to her in 1986 with multiple copies of the video sold to Baba centres in Australia, India and America. I believe that this transfer was the first video compilation of Avatar Meher Baba films ever achieved at that point in history. The initial DVD stabilises the platform as an archive for future viewing and reformatting.
